Cautions on handling
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
• Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
• About Condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units
before moving the unit.
• About Care
• Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.
• Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.
• Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as
insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought
into contact with the unit, and should, therefore, not be used.
Features
Fully Discrete, identical quality and power for all
5 channels (120 W x 5ch)
The unit is equipped with a power amplifier that plays back high-
fidelity sound in surround mode with equal quality and power for all
channels, true to the original sound.
The power amplifier circuit adopts a discrete-circuit configuration
that achieves high-quality surround sound play back.
Supports HDMI 1.4 with 3D, ARC, Deep Color,
“x.v.Color” , Auto Lipsync and HDMI control
function
This unit can output 3D video signals input from a Blu-ray Disc
player to a TV that supports a 3D system. This unit also supports
the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, which plays back TV
sound with this unit via an HDMI cable used for connecting the
unit and a TV
z
.
zThe TV should support the ARC function.
4-HDMI inputs and 1-output
The unit is equipped with 4 HDMI input connectors for connecting
devices with HDMI connectors, such as a Blu-ray Disc player,
game machine, HD video camera, etc.
High Definition Audio Support
The unit is equipped with a decoder which supports high-quality
digital audio format for Blu-ray Disc players such as Dolby TrueHD,
DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.
Dolby Pro Logicgz
The unit is provided with a Dolby Pro Logicgz decoder. When you
play back the sound in Dolby Pro Logicgz playback with front height
speakers connected to the unit, you can enjoy playback sound with
rich spacial expression.
Easy to use, On Screen Display
Simple settings are enabled with the setting menus displayed on
the TV screen. When you control the sound volume, the volume
level is displayed on the screen, and when you switch the input
source, the name of the input source is displayed.
Auto setup function
The unit is provided with an “Auto setup function” which
automatically makes speaker settings best suited for the listening
environment. The sound from the speakers is picked up with the
supplied microphone. Reflecting sound and audio characteristics of
speakers are measured, and settings for an optimum sound field
are automatically made.
Upconverting of all types of source video signals
to HDMI signals
This unit is provided with functions for automatic conversion of
various video signals (component video, S-Video, video) that are
input to this unit into HDMI signals for output to a monitor, allowing
connection between this unit and a TV to be made with a single
HDMI cable.
Dock connecrivity for iPod and network streaming
If an optional DENON control dock for iPod (ASD-3N, ASD-3W,

Speakers
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R)
channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities
on the speakers being connected to the
this unit, and be sure to interconnect the
channels and polarities correctly.
Connecting the speaker cables
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing from
the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the
core wire tightly or terminate it.
When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
NOTE
• Connect so that the speaker cable core wires
do not protrude from the speaker terminal.
The protection circuit may be activated if the
core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and –
sides touch each other (vpage67 “Protection
Circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the
power supply is connected. Doing so could
result in electric shock.

The “Simple version” describes the installation, connection and setup methods for 5.1-channel speakers.
See page 27 for the installation, connection and setup methods for speakers other than 5.1-channel speakers.
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are
measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called
“Audyssey Auto Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all
around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six
positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
• When performing Audyssey Auto Setup, MultEQ
®
/Dynamic EQ
®
/Dynamic
Volume™ functions become active (vpage43, 44).
• To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup” (vpage46) on the menu.
NOTE
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close
windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances,
light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.
• Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
• Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey Auto Setup is completed.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the
measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto setup. This is part of
normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will
increase in volume.
• Operating
VOL df during the measurements will cancel the measurements.
• Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.

About setup microphone placement
• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions
throughout the entire listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend you
measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six positions).
• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, measuring at multiple points
throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would
normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup
microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ
®
uses the measurements from this position
to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

About Content Type
The HDMI Specification Version 1.4 enables simple, automated picture setting selection with no user
intervention.
The Content Type feature enables a display to auto-select the correct viewing mode to match the content
type it is currently receiving from a source device, and to switch modes when a new content source is
selected. Content Type supports content profiles for gaming, movie, photograph, and text viewing modes.
